Chicago Venture Capital Firms & Angel Investor Networks

Share

Below is a list of selected venture capital firms that are actively investing in Chicago. All of them will look at technology related startups, although many invest in additional industries, as well. Please research them at their linked websites, to see who may be the best fit for you. I organized this list in terms of stage of investment focus, from early to late stage investors. So, please don't reach out to VC's if you do not fit their target criteria. And, be sure to research their specific technology focus on their websites (e.g., healthcare, education, digital media, SaaS), to make sure your business is a fit for them. I have added notes below, if they were available from their websites. Also, as a reminder, don't blindly cold call these companies. It is always best to have a warm intro into one of their partners, where Red Rocket or others may be able to help here.ANGEL INVESTOR NETWORKS IN CHICAGO

In addition, don't forget, many startup accelerator or incubator programs in Chicago will also provide cash for their startups. And, there are many other anonymous angel investors who invest in startups, that you need a solid introduction into those high net worth individuals. So, be sure to tap into your networks for these other sources of capital.

If you think I am missing anybody. Please add them in the comments field below.
